Teachers are becoming a bizarre self righteous cult when it comes to pay.

Just because you have a flexible schedule doesn't mean you are not working x number of hours. I'm willing to give you teachers work 10 to 11 hours a day, even though I think most don't. They still are working less or near the number of hours required for every other salaried employee.

Common Core Math

Yeah I did the math one time. During football season I average about 72 hours per week at work from Mon.-Sat. The pay does not reflect that

i have 3 teachers in my family. all three spend some time during nights, weekends and even summer break developing "lesson plans" . I don't pretend to know what that involves but, i know they all do it.

And according to the tard in the article if you did that 52 weeks a year your pay would be 10k

I'm self employed and work for myself.
You're on the clock and post all day. At the end Of the year, do you tell people you worked 40 hour weeks?

Why should we pay individuals whom the only skillset is dictation, the same wage as someone who builds networks, power systems, and/or medical?
You don't have to be smart to fill in a lesson plan sheet or grade tests.
I know I will get downvoted to smithereens but when anyone with a brain can do your job, why should you expect specialist pay?

But to act like the guy in the OP is not full of shite
I'm not debating his lack of math skills. I think he shifted a decimal point and is making more like $20/ hr.....good thing he is a history teacher.
he may have been bullshitting because his linkedin page shows him as an adjunct professor at the local college as well as a HS teacher. quote:
that you don't know a single white collar worker who works harder than a teacher is just bullshite
Well, I kind of know a doctor who puts in long hours. But other than that all white collar people I know have very flexible schedules and work pretty much 40 hours a week and make way more than $50k/ year that a Dallas teacher makes.

Good teachers don’t just dictate they actually teach and solve problems to help students learn more effectively.
By your same logic general practitioners only prescribe and have no actual skill or problem solving abilities. Anyone with access to Web MD could do it.

I'm in a cyclical business. I don't have to work when I'm not busy, but when I am I work 60-80 hours a week. I'll be cranking up around mid Feb, March so I'll be working then. At the end of the year I probably come out averaging 50 or so hours a week

By his logic GPs get paid less than specialists which is absolutely true
Posted on 1/24/19 at 2:28 pm to Mingo Was His NameO
But still no medical knowledge necessary.

You are trying to put someone with 8+ years of undergrad/graduate/OJT training in the same bucket with someone who had college classes that required no higher than basic calculus...IF THAT.
Posted on 1/24/19 at 2:31 pm to 50_Tiger
In that case, by your logic, I guess med school is not really necessary for GPs then.

And other idiot posters conveniently forget that pretty much most professionals work after hours. That's life.

You're grasping. Of course it is, just like college is necessary for teachers. But learning fluid dynamics is not the same as learning teaching strategies and corresponding pay should reflect that. Just like learning to diagnose the flu shouldn't lay the same as removing spinal tumors.

The only group of workers more annoying than registered nurses are teachers.

No one believes you perform an average of 50 hours per week. 10 hours per day. 8:00 - 7:00. With an hour for steakhouse lunches, mind you.
No one.

I don't really care, like I said I'm not busy right now but when I am it's typically at least 6 days a week. 12 hour days during the week and a full Saturday. By the way, I'm going to Perry's tomorrow, going to be good
On days I don't eat out, I don't eat lunch. Get to the office around 7:15 leave around 5:30 go to the gym, dinner, and work again until about 11
